My Partner who sadly passed away saving my life. This new power has given me the ability to bring him back, or at least something that looks like him.
A door of a police car appears when summoned, looking through the door will reveal the insides of a police car. The door opens and a Vietnamese man steps through. Once he’s outside the door disappears. The man is wearing thin framed glasses, a brown coat, a white shirt with a red tie, brown suit pants and suit shoes. He has a buzz cut with short black hair. The white shirt has some weird red spots on it, which can be perceived underneath the coat.
We were on a routine inspection. A domestic violence case. The neighbors called because of screaming. The Armstrong family has been on our rather for a couple of weeks now. A father, a mother and a 4 year old daughter.
We went over there, not for the first time and definitely not the last. At least that’s what we thought. We arrived and the door was open. Dexter told me before we went in:”I have your back, if you have mine”. I nodded and opened the door. We went inside with our guns raised, announcing our presence. I glanced to the left towards the direction of the toilet.
Dexter was covering me, looking into the direction of the living room. As I looked for any sign of life I heard the cocking of a shotgun from behind me.
It all went so fast after that. I heard Dexter shout something as he tackled me to the side. His shouting was interrupt by the sound of the double barrel shotgun going off. I felt a sharp pain go through my left hand as a couple of my fingers got shot off, by the same bullets that ripped a hole through dexters chest. As I fell to the ground, I took my pistol and shot James Armstrong three times in the chest while he was reloading.
I was in agony. I ripped off a part of my shirt and I wrapped it around my fingers. I rushed over to Dexter, his white shirt was stained by his blood. He was chocking on the blood entering his lunges, I could only comfort him in my arms as I felt his life drain out of him.
My partner, the man who had my back for years, the first man who I ever loved dying in my arms. With me not being able to do anything about it.
